“It’s the literary equivalent of a summer night, a good friend and a gin-and-tonic. Shannon is a deft writer; a natural storyteller with a wicked turn of phrase and frighteningly specific memory (David Schwimmer’s acting class antics are hilarious!)."
-- Greg Thompson, screenwriter/producer of Fox's Bob's Burgers.

“Ms. Bradley-Colleary’s (partial) memoir is really a fun read. She is a good writer, to start. Her prose is colorful, varied, and interesting – that’s my first criterion in a book, and she passes the test mightily. I really feel like we are getting the truth here – unvarnished, about what it is like to start out as an actor in LA and actually achieve some success. But even more interesting are the trappings of that – the scenes that she finds herself in, both with celebrities and without."
-- M. Wieczoreck”

"I enjoyed reading Shannon's brush with various levels of fame. It goes to show how much luck is involved in becoming a celebrity. It was a trip through the early 90s era of rock, movie stars and tv shows."
-- Susan Bell

“Shannon Colleary is not just a witty, insightful and engaging writer – she has her twitchy finger on the pulse of an engorged vein that many bloggers don’t dare mine: the truth.”
-- Mike Werb – screenwriter of The Mask, Face-Off, Lara Croft Tomb Raider.

“I saw my own parenting experiences in this book and it both horrified and comforted me.”
-- Jenny Lawson aka The Bloggess, author of Let’s Pretend It Never Happened

"Shannon Colleary delivers a beautifully crafted, hilarious collection of tales that left me chuckling long after the read was complete. As a mother, I really appreciate the honesty and wry humor of this mom. There is something wonderfully touching in the way this writer tells of her experiences - experiences that so many of us can relate to. To find humor in real life in the way one does in this book makes for entrancing read! The only question that remains is, when can we have some more?"
